The Air Force apparently slipped that a long talked-about arms deal with Saudi Arabia is a done deal.

Stephen Trimble at The Dew Line reports this photo was posted to the Air Force website at 3:31 a.m. on Dec. 28, several hours before the AP wrote the deal was "poised" to be announced by the White House (via @JimmySky).

The deal will include 84 new F-15s and upgrades for 70 more worth a Boeing

total of $29.4 billion.

This sale follows a deal made by Congress a year ago for a $60 billion, 10-year arms sale to the Saudis that included 70 Apaches helicopters, 72 Black Hawk helicopters, 36 Little Bird Helos, bombs, delivery systems, radar warning systems, night vision goggles, and a long list of missiles.

Update: Just before lunch the White House made the official announcement that this largest overseas arms deal ever and Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs Andrew Shapiro said the sale "supports our wider regional security goals in the Gulf. "We want to make sure that they have the tools that they need to be able to defend themselves."
